FOREWORD

It gives me great pleasure to present this consolidated annual report on the activities of

Gyanjyoti Foundation under various schemes of the Central & State Governments of the North

Eastern States.

Hence this consolidated report was put together. Since its inception in 2007, the Organization however, emphasized more on the significance of

education and thereafter gradually registered in the year 2011, under Section 3 of the Societies

Registration Act, 1860, to promote multi-dimensional educational activities to the cause of the

people-in-need in both rural and urban areas of the North Eastern Region. It has given due

stress on academic education, vocational education and Entrepreneurship & Skill Development.

cause through campaigning community awareness, need-based vocational training, irrespective

of caste & creed or religion. It has completed more than seven years of services as on

The Activity Report for 2013-2014 will give the Readers an account of the numerous programs

conducted and implemented by Gyanjyoti Foundation. In the process of development, Gyanjyoti

Foundation has experienced the success and failure which have strengthened its vision and

capability to work more effectively for humanity. And I am sure that the activities initiated by

the Gyanjyoti Foundation will continue to grow further to reach newer heights to the cause in

ameliorating the suffering humanity.

I am very much obliged to those benevolent people, Departments and development agencies for

their constant support and immense cooperation and unstinted support have made it possible
